The Black Death was the worst epidemic in the history of the world to date. The plague killed off more than a third of the total European population during the mid-1300’s.

Night of the Living Dead (Romero, 1968) is a movie that contains a large amount of historical significance. This movie is well known for its incredible relevance to the year that it was released. The movie has been described as “A Newsreel of 1968”, and there is ample reason to make that statement. The year 1968 was a very tumultuous period in American history that saw a great deal of violence overseas and in the United States itself. There were many history altering events that took place during 1968, which would all serve to rile up and instill fear and anger in the American people. 1968 saw the latest presidential election in which there was great division amongst the parties, and was the election in which Robert Kennedy was assassinated. Not only did that year see the assassination of another Kennedy, but it also bore witness to the assassination of the most prominent civil rights leader of the time, Martin Luther King Jr. With these tragedies a war in Vietnam raged which had riled much of the country into protest, especially young people.

In less than a few months, Cambodia, once prosperous and vivacious, has transformed into a tumultuous nation filled with suffering and tribulations. The Khmer Rouge’s calamitous actions asunder families; however, because thousands of people are undergoing the same tragedies, many abiding friendships are established. Arn befriends several members of his band, including Siv, Kha, and Mek. Throughout their time at the camp, they are constantly supporting each other, always providing either nourishment or encouragement. Instead of working in the fields during harvest time, Arn and his band are busy muting the sounds of death by playing hymns that praise Angka. After the radio announces the Vietnamese are going to liberate Cambodia, panic and chaos rapidly spread throughout the camp. Many people, both prisoners, and the Khmer Rouge, seize this opportunity to flee. As Arn prepares to abscond, he realizes that despite their atrocious principles, he fears the

In the “Night of the Living Dead”, it illustrates the year on which it's based pretty accurately in some ways, but not so accurately in others. In one case where the motion picture portrays 1969 accurately is when they said the cause of the dead rising was revealed as high-level radiation from a space probe, but you could compare that radiation to what nuclear fallout could be due to the cold war looming with the Russians. It also depicted how gruesome the Vietnam war was, like the blood, guts and how relentlessness the zombies were compared to the Viet-Kong. The way the movie depicted 1969 inaccurately was that there wouldn't be a black man in charge of a household of white men and women. That would be due to the reason that black people back then barely had any rights at all and weren't even seen as human due to racial discrimination. Also, movies during this time barely showed any skin on women, but you could clearly see in the movie that some women zombies were completely naked which was extremely unusual for 1969. In this movie, it puts in a lot of diversity that was very uncommon at this time, but it also broke the ice for future leadership roles to be African Americans.

“Night of the Living Dead” was the first of its kind. The movie was extremely advanced for the time it was released, which was 1968. It paved new ways towards an advanced style of horror films and opened doors up to more racial representation in the film industry. The film, for example, inspired future movie directors to chase after the zombie cult classic feeling. Zombies were such a hit in Hollywood, and they didn’t cost much to create. A little latex and fake blood could go a long way in old movies.

The 1968 cult classic, Night of the Living Dead, begins under the credits with brother and sister Johnny (Russell Streiner) and Barbara (Judith O’Dea) bickering about the long journey to rural Pennsylvania after arriving at a secluded cemetery to leave flowers on their father’s grave at their mother’s request. As they make their way back to the car, Johnny begins to tease Barbara. “They’re coming to get you, Barbara… They’re coming for you… Look, there’s one now!” A staggering, pale-faced figure (S. William Hinzman) approaches the two siblings and attacks Barbara. When Johnny comes to her rescue, he is killed during the struggle

This is article has taken an interest with both views of how music can affect you. The article examines Holocaust survivors and how they react to music. During the holocaust the Nazis used music as an element of torture. For instance, singing on command, where failure to obey or satisfy the guards could incur fatal consequences, was used to frighten, humiliate, and degrade prisoners. (Atarah 1223) Interviewing multiple survivors and examining how music effected their life before, during and after the Holocaust the article proves that it had

Their first release is a “self-titled” EP with five songs on it–with all them being sort of different, but cohesive; and so there might be something for every indie-lover. My personal favorite is track 3 “Fishes”. Something about that opening guitar line takes me back to the days when I would pull obscure albums

“Hell You Talmbout”, a new protest song from Janelle Monáe’s Wondaland collective, is striking in its simplicity. Monáe (along with fellow Wondaland member Jidenna) made headlines yesterday for marching in Philadelphia against police brutality, and this song sounds like an extension of that march. Drums dominate the scene; they are at once tribal but organized, like a powerfully primal marching band. The lyrics are simple as well, but there’s nothing more to say - “Walter Scott - say his name! Jerame Reid - say his name! Philip White - say his name!” Three men who died at the hands of police, all in the last year; all three are widely considered to have been unfairly killed. These are not the only three, either. Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Sean Bell, Freddie Gray, Aiyana Jones, Sandra Bland, Kimani Grey, John Crawford, Michael Brown, Miriam Carey, Sharonda Singleton, Emmett Till, Tommy Yancy, Jordan Baker, and Amadou Diallo make up the rest of the verses. Their deaths range from days gone by, where racism

All over the world, there are huge battles, wars, and genocide. Many people lose their families and everything they have. They are forced to be a slave, and to do things they do not want to do. It is possible that people who have been exposed to all this circumstances tell the world their experience, and how to heal their wounds. According to the articles, “Killing Fields Survivor Documents Cambodian Genocide” by Jennifer Hyde and “Why the Arts Are as Important as Hospitals in Cambodia” by Emely Wight, they both talk about a person who has been through a huge trauma such a genocide. Individuals and societies who suffered a trauma such a genocide can heal by looking for justice and music.
